Founders and Tour Directors Luciana Masci and Michael Howard are considered to have the best specialist local knowledge of Abruzzo and personally escort each tour.
“My parents are from Abruzzo and much of my family still live there so we are able to offer guests the true Village Italy experience and enjoy the slow pace of life along the path less travelled,” Ms Masci said.
“Unspoiled and virtually untouched by modern tourism, Abruzzo is one of Italy’s best kept secrets…there is so much in Abruzzo the only proper way to experience it is through people who really know it,” Ms Masci continued.
Absolutely Abruzzo Tours guide tours between May - October and can also tailor an experience to suit your needs. All tours have a maximum of 12 guests only so places are limited.
